Pizza Spaghetti Casserole (Oamc) image

We love this casserole. I make 2. One to freeze and one to eat right away! This will become your kids favorite meal hands down! Pepperoni Pizza and Spaghetti in one dish? What could be better!!! Note: To avoid the "greasy" pizza look use turkey pepperoni.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces uncooked spaghetti
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (1 lb) package mild ground turkey or 1 (1 lb) package pork sausage
2 ounces turkey pepperoni, cut in half (about 30)
1 (26 ounce) jar tomato-and-basil pasta sauce (use more if you like)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded italian three-cheese blend (another cup won't hurt!)
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, and stems drained (optional)
sliced green olives (optional)
black olives (optional)
onion, green peppers (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti with 1/2 teaspoons salt according to package directions. Drain well, and place in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
  • Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. (If you are adding onions and or green peppers cook them along with the sausage) Drain and set aside. Wipe skillet clean. Add pepperoni, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes or until slightly crisp.
  • Top spaghetti in baking dish with sausage; pour pasta sauce over sausage (add any additional veggies etc at this time as well.) Arrange half of pepperoni slices evenly over pasta sauce. Sprinkle evenly with cheeses. Arrange remaining half of pepperoni slices evenly over cheese. Cover with nonstick or lightly greased aluminum foil.
  • Bake at 350° for 30 minutes; remove foil, and bake 10 more minutes or until cheese is melted and just begins to brown.
  • For OAMC: Freeze the unbaked casserole up to one month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator; let stand 30 minutes at room temperature, and bake as directed.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some Italian sausage and mushrooms to the sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. I'm not sure why the other reviewer had such a bad experience.

This recipe was a disaster. The spaghetti was overcooked and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try it again with less cheese next time.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cheesy spaghetti and they don't even notice the hidden veggies.

I'm not usually a fan of casseroles, but this one was really good. The combination of pizza and spaghetti was unique and flavorful.
